I got these from playasia.com.

Unfortunately they are sold out.

The Saturn USB pads were L.E. and exclusive to Japan..So I don't think you'll find any US distributors that have any.

You can get a USB adapter for your Gen pad, retrousb.com has them. I know someone from this forum who got one and he's happy with it.

Hope this helps.

just curious, what do you guys use for gamepads? im asking because im using a logitech percision usb game pad (pictured below) and ive had it for quite sometime now and the d pad is starting to stick so im thinking of buying a new controller. now, i saw on ebay they have sega controllers with usb for about 30 dollars, does anyone use one of these or did they make it them themselves? do you think it gives you an advantage over someone playing with a gamepad like the one i am currently using? let me know what you guys think. thanks.

It's the same one I got. :D And yeah, those controllers are pretty durable.

I use an xBox360 controller for the PC. The analog stick doesn't offer the control of a great D-pad (which are rare!), but I've become accustomed to it.

I would argue the best D-pad's come from Nintendo manufactured input devices, as seen above. I'm curious to see if anyone has found something better.

I use my original SNES controller with a USB converter I bought online last year.

Indeed a great way to play.

Surprisingly there have been a blister of these Sega USB pads available on ebay recently (usually Japanese sellers). If anyone's interested in copping one I wouldn't wait long - they have been out of production and out of circulation for several years now

i saw those, and also i saw a kit on retrousb.com where you can convert a gens controller to usb. im wondering witch i should buy because i feel like i want to have to closest possible experience to the console and the controllers offered on ebay arnt actually made by the sega company rather some dude slapping a sega sticker on them. am i wrong about the ebay controllers? will the sega controller on ebay be legitimate?

I can't speak for the quality of the eBay offerings, but I am very happy with the $20-ish cable I got from retrousb that lets me plug in any Sega controller:

Allows me to play with quite literally the same controllers I was using 15 years ago, and if I ever break the pad I still have the cable. Just have to go to the Internet and buy another regular-ol' Sega pad for $5.

Using two PS2 clone USB controllers. They only cost me a fiver each and they more than do the job, the thumbsticks suit me as a really nice way to play the game, I just map the shoot and pass buttons to the right analog stick and the dump and poke buttons to the bumpers...kind of a NHL 09 / 94 compromise, works really well!

Saitek P220 is the only KG approved gamepad
